DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This two-year research proposal applies behavioral science to the systematic study of fraternity party environments in order to identify specific factors related to excessive alcohol consumption and intoxication of partygoers. The target population is university students (n=4,800) attending fraternity-sponsored parties (n=48) at a large university. The primary dependent variable is blood alcohol concentration (BAC) obtained from partygoers from 12:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. -- a peak time for most fraternity parties. The overarching practical objective of the proposed research is to identify environmental factors that can be used to develop policies and cost-effective prevention strategies for reducing excessive alcohol consumption and its concomitant negative effects among university students at social gatherings. The specific aims of this research are to: a) identify environmental factors related to excessive alcohol consumption at fraternity parties, b) identify and propose policy-related intervention strategies to address these environmental factors on a large scale, and c) explore ways to improve compliance with those university policies and guidelines for party drinking that significantly reduce at-risk drinking and intoxication, as determined objectively by the proposed research. Thus, the proposed research will not only provide an epidemiological analysis of environment-behavior and person-behavior relations related to excessive alcohol consumption at fraternity parties, but will derive a list of specific and feasible recommendations universities can use to decrease alcohol consumption at campus parties and thereby improve the safety of their students.

描述（由申请人提供）：这项为期两年的研究建议将行为科学应用于兄弟会环境的系统研究，以确定与饮酒过量和参与者中毒有关的特定因素。目标人群是大学生（n = 4,800），在一所大大学参加了兄弟会赞助的聚会（n = 48）。主要因素是从上午12:00到上午1:00获得的血液酒精浓度（BAC） - 大多数兄弟会政党的高峰时间。拟议研究的总体实际目标是确定可用于制定政策和具有成本效益的预防策略，以减少过度饮酒及其在社交聚会上的大学生中的负面影响。这项研究的具体目的是：a）确定与兄弟会各方过度饮酒有关的环境因素，b）识别并提出与政策相关的干预策略，以大规模解决这些环境因素，以及c）探索如何提高对这些大学政策和指导方案的遵守方式，以降低危险饮酒，并确定性地研究，并通过提出的研究来确定性地研究，并通过提出的研究来确定性地进行研究。因此，拟议的研究不仅将对与兄弟会各方过度饮酒有关的环境 - 行为和人行为关系进行流行病学分析，而且还将得出大学可以使用的特定且可行的建议列表来减少校园党派酒精消费量，从而改善学生的安全。
